France come to Tunisia as the second-best team on their continent, having taken silver at the YAC 16 EURO in Bulgaria last year.
At the Tunisia 2025 preliminary group draw, France were drawn against three teams from three different continent, in Brazil, Thailand and Tanzania, so all three of their initial games will be firsts for this generation of French ladies.
The Dutch women’s youth team are the most successful in either gender of the IHF Men’s and Women’s Youth Beach Handball World Championships.
Two, consecutive silver medals at the 2017 and 2022 editions highlights the consistency of qualify coming from the northern European country.
